Orthodontic Consultation & Assessment

A dedicated orthodontic appointment to evaluate the position of the teeth and bite and to plan straightening treatment. It includes a digital scan, X-ray and a written assessment, giving a clear picture of what treatment would involve. The dentist discusses suitable appliance options — fixed braces or removable plates — so you understand the approach, the likely course of treatment and the cost before committing.

An orthodontic consultation at Adent is a thorough assessment of how the teeth are aligned and how the upper and lower teeth meet, used to plan treatment that straightens the teeth and improves the bite. The appointment combines a clinical examination with a digital scan of the teeth, an X-ray and a written assessment, so the dentist can analyse the case properly and explain what is happening and what the options are. From this assessment the dentist outlines the appropriate ways to address the problem. The practice offers a range of fixed braces — conventional metal, self-ligating, and more discreet aesthetic self-ligating systems on a single arch — as well as removable appliances such as a Schwarz plate, which are often used in younger patients or for specific corrective goals. Because every case differs in complexity, the consultation is the point at which the dentist recommends a specific appliance, sets out the likely sequence and duration of treatment, and provides the cost so you can make an informed decision; the appliance fees themselves are quoted separately following the assessment. For patients considering treatment from across the border, the written assessment and records are useful for planning visits and understanding commitments before starting. Straightening treatment is suitable for both children and adults depending on the issue; the dentist will confirm what is realistic for your situation and how progress would be reviewed over the course of treatment.
